Vitals:
Years playing/experience: Coming up on a year. Play every day during my lunch break and after work. Sometimes on weekends if I have the time (two kiddos)
Right/left-handed/ambidextrous: Righty.
Throwing Style: started RHFH and have been RHBH for about 10 months.
Golf Distance (avg/max*) for putter/mid/driver: Putter:210-220. Mid: 275 Drivers: 300-320

Age: 30
Sex: M
Injuries/handicaps?: Nothing really. Seperated my shoulder about 10 years ago snowboarding. Doesn't really effect my game.
Additional Information: Drummer for 20 years so I think that's given me a bit more "snap" than most beginners.
What do you like/dislike about your current bag?: Liking my current setup. Working on form this spring/summer so not bagging too many distance drivers. Also, trying to bag as many of the same molds as I can.
Immediate and long-term goals: Looking for some more consistency and accuracy in the immediate, diatance in the long term.

Bag: Grip EQ C-15

Drivers (weight/plastic/model/(condition)/use):
175 G PD: Working this one out. Doesn't get much use at the courses I've been playing (short, woody.) I have a few other PDs I take out for fieldwork.
175 C CD2: max distance ATM. Don't really use this one a whole lot as well.
175 C FD2: When I need that extra OS
175 C FD: stable fairway
175 P FD: Flippy bae. Love this disc.
175 S FD: Slightly more OS than my C.

Mids:
175 Champ Flat Top Gator: When I need that hook.
175 KC Pro Roc: Tunnel and turnover shots.
180 Glow MD3: Domey, Great HSS
180 Glow Eagle MD3: More OS and slightly flatter than other MD3. Great hyzer shot off the tee, and won't flip over on me.
180 P MD3: Beating in to be a more glidey Roc. Loving this disc.

Putters:
All max weight (175):
3X P P2: One beat to glory for US/hyzer flip drives and approaches. The other two are my main putting putters.
S P2: OS drives and approaches.
X P2: Recently took this out of the bag due to the warmer weather. I'll probably toss it in for the rainy day rounds.

I guess just let me know what you guys think! Again, just a beginner and loving this sport and the people involved. Everyone is super nice and really enjoy playing with the "old timers" that frequent the local courses.
 
Looks like a pretty nice setup. Seems as if you could handle any course shot pretty well. Only question I guess is how beat up is your KC Roc? It seems as if a P-MD3 would be pretty similar off the shelf. Admittedly I have not thrown one though, I have only read about them.

Thanks for your input! The Roc I have is beat in pretty well. It was one of the first discs I ever bought, so needless to say it's pretty seasoned. The purpose for the P MD3 was to see if I could potentially beat it in to maybe replace my Roc, like I said I'm trying to keep the mold count low. Also I can get a bit more distance with the MD3 because it's a glide monster. The targets I overshoot with the MD3s are perfect for the Roc. I'd like to replace it, but I really don't see that happening this year unless I throw it in a river.
 
Nice bag man. I love the gator. Very useful in a ton of situations so easy to know where it's gonna land.
Seem pretty similar to what I throw. How does the CD2 compare to say a beast, roadrunner sidewinder or whatever based on your experience.
 
Solid bag.

I just acquired a couple of S-Line P2s, and I am really liking them on approach shots. It's a really good mold.

Thanks man! The gator is my official "get outta this ****" disc. Definetly helped my game out quite a bit.

Out of all those discs the only one I have experience with is the roadrunner, and it's nothing like that. If I could compare it to any disc that I have any experience with, I'd put it closely to a Valkyrie.

Thank you sir! If you can't tell I'm certainly a fan of this mold. When I play putter only rounds I feel like I almost have an unfair advantage to my friends who carry no less than three putter molds.
